Owarepl : Is this a bug or feature?

I have been using Owarepl downloaded from govt.us.oracle.com for a while with Apache now and find it an invaluable utility. I however noticed that when using it with forms that send data using the POST method, it automatically decodes the incoming query_string and forwards the information in seperate variables. This can raise a problem with dynamic forms where you dont know what variables are coming in. Whereas if all the values were passed as one string you could analyze the data and setup variables accordingly in the PL/SQL procedure. I am planning to modify the code of owarepl to make it forward the encoded string in a variable also. Am I doing something that is a NO NO? I thought I'd check before I'd start playing the owarepl code.

Also I just learned about this Oracle tag feature. New feature in a newer release or owarepl. I am storing all the information I am receiving from the web in the schema of the user who is also the owner of owa and the stored procedures. Does the Oracle tag allow me to do a 'select' on any of the tables of this user? I read the security paragraph in the online documentation of the Oracle tag and it seems like pretty secure in that regard, but I just wanted to make sure.

P.S. Thanks tkyte for such a great utility.
